I am just pitching myself if anyone knows of somewhere that needs a geek for a bit!

As it's all voluntary work, the time could be split into research, development and testing... then thrown out the window if need be, just to say we tried. Of course, I would like to see it going on but it's not a necessity. In terms of the theme, anything 'open' would be great but I understand that that could be tricky. I'm happy with anything from websites to scribbling out a bit of Java code (ahem) or hardware stuff. Location-wise, I'm near the Fountains roundabout at Northgate so anywhere within cycling distance is perfect!

Some bad news from the project that hosted our recent software freedom day event. I don't know if anyone here is able to help? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dave Page Date: 14 Oct 2008 23:32 Subject: [Fsuk-manchester] Hardware Call-Out: LTSP Server Required! Manchester Free Software [1] recently set up a free software suite at the Marbella Café [2] at 52 Newton Street in the Northern Quarter, using machines previously used by Free Space Manchester and originally from the Basement Social Centre. This suite formed the nucleus of our Software Freedom Day event [3], provided free internet access at the café and also was set to be used for free software training and education. Unfortunately, the server which powered this LTSP [4] setup died this evening through a motherboard failure, so the suite is currently down. We have no budget for a replacement, but only need a fairly modest hardware. I thought it'd be worth asking around and seeing whether anybody could help us. The current server is a Sempron 3000, with 2GB RAM. This is actually overkill for 3 LTSP clients. I believe that the RAID-1 SATA drives will probably still be OK. If you have a spare machine of a spec in this ballpark in the Manchester area (or can get it to Manchester), please e-mail me on grimoire at cultofperf.org.uk Manchester Free Software and our friends and companions in the free software world are keen to get this suite back up and running - it's the only place in Manchester providing free and zero-cost Internet access, and will be used to help educate people about and with free software. Please propogate this e-mail to lists you think might be useful.

With regard to tweaking, firstly I've never been happy generally with doing a OS upgrade, I usually backup my files and install afresh, however with regard to VirtualBox, I've found it to be quite smart, i.e. if it needs to compile kernel modules it does it automatically. I have found however recently when I did a kernel upgrade on the guest I needed to reinstalled the guest addins. Dave. -- Dr. David Holden. See: regarding Word or PowerPoint.

They reckon Fedora 9 to have 204,500,946 physical lines of source code (not just the kernel). The total cost of development if t'were proprietary? A mere $10,784,484,309 (~£6.6 billion).

This month I've been investigating alternative venues where we could meet in private rooms. Basically so we can get our laptops out and not worry about being sat in the middle of a pub! The idea is to try and combine the socials with a more technical meet, so we can demo things we may have found or help each other with any problems. I've found the ideal move as it's only down the road in the Bear and Billet (about 100 yards from the normal pub). They have a room we can use, but unfortunately it's not available this Thursday otherwise I'd have booked it. It seems that Thursdays are a regular booking so I'd like to get all your opinions on the following: 1. Would you be happy if we moved the regular meet to another weekday night? 2. What if it was always on the last week of the month but changed days? Or would you prefer it to stick to the same day every month. 3. Would you prefer we stay with a single monthly meet combining the two in the new venue (basically pints and technology :-) ), or we continue with the monthly social and then hold the odd technical meet as we like.

I think a date would be slightly easier for people to remember and allows those that are busy certain nights to attend, as the days would change. TBH I'd prefer a 28th of the month or something. Not particularly bnothered though, s I said I'm not tied down to anything I cant get out of! > 3.

The last one. I reckon this works well and gives peeps time to sort things out before techs if need be.

In the middle of getting a new kitchen installed and I need to pull out the utility room tonight. Hope you all have a good evening if I don't see you and I'll let you know soon about a new location.
